METHOD FOR PROMOTING EFFICIENCY OF GENE TRANSFER INTO PLANT CELLS

摘要

A method of improving the gene transfer efficiency into plant cells whereby a gene can be conveniently transferred without damaging tissues at a higher efficiency than in the conventional Agrobacterium gene transfer method. In this method, plant cells or plant tissues are heated and centrifuged to thereby improve the gene transfer efficiency into the plant cells mediated b y a bacterium belonging to the genus Agrobacterium.
